If you’re thinking about a getaway to Cartagena, May is the perfect month to go—no crowds, no rush, and much better rates. From the warm breeze sweeping through colonial streets to the cultural and culinary offerings that thrive during this season, it all adds up to an unforgettable experience.

And Huespedia Stay is your smart base to discover it all—practical, comfortable, and full of local charm. Here’s why May is the hidden gem of travel seasons, and how to make the most of it with us.

Why Visit Cartagena in May?

1. Low season = big advantages

May kicks off the low season in Cartagena, meaning fewer tourists, more peace and quiet, and lower prices on flights, restaurants, activities, and, of course, accommodation. That means you get to explore the city in a more authentic way—no lines, no crowds.

2. Ideal weather for exploring

Although May marks the beginning of the rainy season, Cartagena still enjoys warm temperatures (around 25–30°C / 77–86°F) and plenty of sunshine. Showers are usually brief and refreshing, perfect for cooling down without disrupting your plans.

3. Cultural events still going strong

May doesn’t slow down Cartagena’s cultural pulse. From local music festivals to open-air exhibits and culinary pop-ups, the city remains lively and creative. Especially in neighborhoods like Getsemaní and the Historic Center, you’ll find unique things to do and see.
